Before
(this uses the initial
velocity, before a
collision happens)
After
(this uses the final
velocity, after a collision
has happened)
Object 1:
Object 2:
Calculate the change in velocity for each object. AV = Vf - Vi
Momentum (p) of
object 1
Object 1:
Momentum (p) of
object 2
Calculate the change in momentum for each object.
M1 x AV1 = AP1 for object 1 and M2 x AV2 = AP2 for object 2.
Object 2:
Momentum of object 1
and 2 added together
Use the insert drawing tool to create a vector diagram below for the momentum
table. (There should be 6 arrows in total. There should be an arrow for the
momentum of each block BEFORE the collision, and one for their combined
momentum. Then there should be another set of arrows for the momentums of
each block AFTER the collision, and one for their combined momentum.)
